RVFTA #175: Rig Highlights from the 2018 Florida RV SuperShow

The 2018 Florida RV SuperShow was jam packed with over 1,550 towable and motorized RVs. There is truly something for every RV shopper at this exciting annual event. So we decided to send our trusted RVFTA correspondents to scour the fairgrounds and find their rig picks of the show.

On this episode Kate Dunbar, Casita Dean, and Keith and Tia Sims join us to share their favorite finds from five days of RV shopping. From solo girl campers, to empty nester dream machines, to family-friendly small motorhomes, we are covering a huge range of RVs.

There’s a joke that every RV owner is always shopping for their next RV. The 2018 Florida RV SuperShow was the perfect example of that. RVFTA correspondents fanned out in every direction, and came back ridiculously excited about what they found. If you think the RV industry is just pumping out the same ole, same ole, you haven’t been looking hard enough!

Kate Dunbar of Kate’s Curious Kitchen came to Tampa with a singular goal. She was determined to narrow down her list for a new trailer that she could tow on her solo camping adventures. Right now Kate has a beautiful vintage Shasta. She wants to upgrade her safety and towing experience by purchasing a double axle trailer.

Here are her three top choices after shopping at the 2018 Florida RV SuperShow…

We recorded an entire walk through of this trailer while we were at the show, so check it out if you want to learn more about why Kate is all hearts for this Airstream. Pop some popcorn and enjoy the show!

Lance has done a lot of redesigning over the past year, and their travel trailers are attracting a ton of attention. The quality of build is enough to satisfy Kate’s exacting standards, and attention to detail is the way to her heart.

Kate was NOT expecting to fall in love with a truck camper. But one look at this NuCamp Cirrus and her jaw dropped. If you have any preconceptions about truck campers, you need to tour this one. It has intelligent design and trending style.

Everyone’s favorite fiberglass correspondent arrived at the 2018 Florida RV SuperShow looking toward the future. Dean and Laura love their Casita travel trailer, but they are looking to retire in about 5 years and take more RV adventures. They feel a small motorhome will suit their needs a bit better at that time. So Casita Dean shared his top four small Class C picks from Tampa.

Keith and Tia love their Class A motorhome, but they are considering the benefits of having something that is smaller and a bit easier to maneuver in certain traveling conditions. The challenge was finding something that would suit Tia on her girl camping getaways, but also fit the whole family for an RV adventure. Here are three picks that they are considering.
